V] hen the tray-is disposedabove the bag with the hooks beneath the side members of the frame 10,the traymay not be elevated by reason of the fact that these hooks willengage the side members of the frame 10 and prevent such elevation andmay not move downwardly except for a short distance due to the fact thatthe hooks will engage the bag at the edges of the openings and limitsuch downward movement.

I lVhen the tray is beneath the bag, the bag side members so that theylie above the side members and serve as a support for the bag;

will, of course, be held up bythetray atone end and at this time, theside members must be spread and the hooks passed between the hen thetray is arranged above the bag and beneath the side members of theframe10, it

will be quite obvious that a childl'ying in the crib will not escapetherefrom, for the simple reason that any effort of the child to'risewill be frustrated by the engagement of the books with the frame. Atthis time, desired, the fabric covering "of the tray may either be leftextended/co its full length or the free edge thereof shifted toward thestraps so that the effective length of each strap may be adjusted; Theeyes through which the straps pass are preferably, in the case of onestrap, a ring and, ofthe other strap, the eyeof the shank of a snap hook25.

Each strap has secured thereto in properly spaced relation'to theendsthereof loops 26 adapted to receive the hooks 20 of the tray.

In the use of a device of this character as a swing, the tray element isusually disposed above the bag and swung so that the hooks 20 rest uponthe frame.

the swing is such that the child is facing a glaring light,this may becut off by swinging the tray upwardly and engagingthe ends of the hooksin theloops 26 of the straps. If desired, thetray may be arranged belowWhen engaged with the frame, this tray element performs its normalfunction. 1 In event the position of the bag when the device is employedas a swing. In this case, one end of the bag is held suspended by thetray. When this arrangement is employed, the fabric cover of the traycan be shifted toward the cross bar and assists informing a pad upon thecross bar to cushion the same. When employed as a swing, the adjacentends of the straps may be connected to one another and connection madewith a common support therefor or independent supports may be employed.This as a crib.

When employed as a crib, the tray is swung to the opposite side of, theframe and the frame members, after the child has been placed inthe crib,are sprung apart so'that the cross bar may be placed therebelow and thehooks engaged with the side members from beneath. When enga'ged,the traymay not be forced upwardly by pressure applied from beneath so that itacts as an escape preventer. It furtherserves both as a sunshade and asa means for excluding insects.

It will be obvious from the foregoing that a tray of this characterformsan extremely 'co'nvenientattachment for the crib and may be veryreadily and rapidly adjusted to its various uses. V

It will alsobeobviousthat theconstruction hereinbefore set forthis'capable of a certain range of change and 'modification withoutmaterially departing from the spirit offthe invention and I accordinglydo not limit myself to such specific structure except as hereinafterclaimed."
